Assam: CM Sarma Slams Congress for 'Appeasement Politics'

June 17, 2025

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has come down heavily on the Congress party over the recent controversy surrounding the alleged desecration of a Hanuman temple in Dhubri district, accusing the opposition of politicising a sensitive issue for communal gain.

The incident, which involved the reported hurling of beef into the temple premises, has ignited a fresh wave of political and communal tensions in the state.

According to police sources, a few individuals have been arrested in connection with the case, and all belong to the minority community.

Taking to social media, Sarma condemned the Congress's response, calling it a reflection of "cheap thinking" and alleging that the party was attempting to blame the Hindu community despite clear evidence to the contrary.
